I'm in Croydon (South London). If you're not too far away I'd be more than happy to shoot your car. Photography isn't my day job, it's my passion so luckily I can keep business out of it most of the time.
Once it's finished I'll get in touch to arrange a photoshoot with you. I've got family in that neck of the woods so I can kill 2 birds with one stone & visit them as well cheers.......NIge

Here's a few updates on the Camaro. sorry about the crappy pics, just taken on a compact.

First of all, bringing the tail lights into the 21st Century. Brighter, faster and easier on the battery. Got these suckers from ebay in the US, plug straight into the bulb holders so easy to fit.

Image

Here's the old, some flaking of paint on the black area of the bezel and dull lenses.

Image

Out they come!

Image

New lights in and paint touched up...

Image

More modernisation inside. Black leather BMW E46 seats. Chosen for their integral three point seatbelts and body hugging support through the twisty bits. These came off ebay, they had been in a police impound after they caught a gang of BMW ringers. They had the evidence number painted on. Didn't like the fact the the OG seats were fixed back with no rake adjustment. The OG mounts have been left so the old seats can go back. Big thanks to my friend Julian for welding and wiring them in. Wiring? Yes they are electric...

Image

Image

Smaller Grant (my namesake) steering wheel fitted now the steering weight feels right with the power steering and works better with the new seating position. Also new head unit fitted that controls my iphone. The wiring runs to the centre console so the phone can be in there charging while the stereo can access the music.

Image

And lastly the electric exhaust cut outs, allowing you to control the volume of the exhaust from a switch on the dash by bypassing the silencer.

Image

Next on the to do list, central locking.

I seem to have missed that part of the thread with the new seats, lights etc, must have been when my computer crashed. Looking really good, just imagine....a Camaro with electric seats!! :clap: :clap: Love the last pic, I'm gonna have to get my car to you sos's you can take some moody atmospheric shots of it. Maybe try & get it in Camaro performers magazine, what d'ya think?? How about a video sound clip of that exhaust with the cutouts open?? :thumbup: :thumbup: cheers....Nige

I'm always up for shooting cool cars Nige :)

I'll have to try and video the cutouts, not sure the mic on my compact will be able to handle it though :D
